| Summary |
1930. When a body is discovered on the premises of the newly-established Maxstead Court School for Girls, DI Herbert Reardon is called in to investigate. Reardon is alarmed to find the school a hotbed of scandalous secrets, suppressed passions, petty jealousies and wanton schoolgirl cruelty. As he pursues his enquiries, it becomes clear that the dead woman was not who - or what - she claimed to be. |
